Description

77 Lubricants Engine Oil HDX 15W-50 is a semi-synthetic engine oil for heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses and vans from Euro 3 to Euro 5.

It is rated ACEA E7, API CI-4 and SL, JASO DH-1 and Global DHD-1. It holds no official approvals; the maker claims compliance with Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N, Renault Trucks RLD-2, DTFR 15B110, MAN M 3275, CAT ECF-1a, Cummins CES 20077 and 20078, DDC DFS 93K215, Deutz DQC-III and MTU Oil Category 2.

Heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses and vans from Euro 3 to Euro 5 that have no diesel particulate filter (DPF).

Worth knowing

At 100 °C this oil barely differs from Engine Oil HDX 20W-50: 18.7 mm²/s against 18.8. The difference shows at lower temperatures. At 40 °C the 15W-50 has 138.9 mm²/s and the 20W-50 160.9, viscosity index 154 against 132, pour point -33 °C against -30 °C. Cold-cranking viscosity (CCS) in the 15W-50 data sheet is 5,230 mPa·s at -20 °C, and in the 20W-50 data sheet 6,780 mPa·s at -15 °C: SAE J300 sets the test temperatures of the 15W and 20W winter grades exactly five degrees apart. The two oils have the same list of codes, except for CAT ECF-2, which the 15W-50 lacks, and neither holds an approval for any of them.

The data sheet describes the 20W-50 base as mineral, and for the 15W-50 names a blend of mineral and synthetic base oils; the only other HDX oil blended that way is the 10W-40. The short piece on what semi-synthetic oil is gives general information about such blends, including the usual share of synthetic in them.
